Beelink Pocket P1 Impressions: A Tiny Quadcore Windows PC

The Beelink Pocket P1 is tiny Windows PC from Beelink. Armed with an Intel Z3735F SoC, 2GB RAM and 32GB of onboard storage, the Beelink Pocket P1 shares many specs with devices such as the excellent MINIX NEO Z64. However, that’s to its tiny size, its perfectly portable.

Gaming performance was tested using Asphalt 8 and Jetpack Joyride. Jetpack Joyride was nice and smooth at all times. Asphalt 8 was playable but the framerate was sub-30 FPS. However, Gameloft’s recent update did seem to negatively impact Asphalt 8 performance on a number of my devices so keep that in mind. Gaming performance is shown in the above video.

Some mini PCs overheat due to their tiny, fanless designs so I thought I’d test out thermal performance. In a brief test, I ran Prime95‘s Small FFT test for 20 minutes. Temperatures didn’t exceed 50°c and there was no thermal throttling according to HWiNFO, so thermal performance has been very impressive so far.
